Distributive property: Examples, Generalizations & In rings and other structures

In mathematics, the distributive property of binary operations is a generalization of the distributive law, which asserts that the equality x ⋅ ( y + z ) = x ⋅ y + x ⋅ z {\displaystyle x\cdot (y+z)=x\cdot y+x\cdot z} is always true in elementary algebra. For example, in elementary arithmetic, one has 2 ⋅ ( 1 + 3 ) = ( 2 ⋅ 1 ) + ( 2 ⋅ 3 ) . {\displaystyle…
